Three years ago, Koa composed a love-letter to Rainbow Dash Presents called Rainbow Disaster Pop, with each song about a different episode of the legendary fan series. For its anniversary, she gathered up a bunch of artists to create a remix album. Enjoy all the various ways these musicians have given the tracks a makeover, from hardstyle to dubstep and from drum & bass to pop punk! As a special extra the album ends with No Rainbows Bossa Nova, the background tune to Dawn Somewhere’s Rainbow Factory Employee Safety Module.

SCR4TCHK4T – snackpack (feat. rawrity) | Trap / Hyperpop
Little bit late to the party on this one but it’s too cute to miss! This fun little collab from SCR4TCH and rawr is a super danceable song about a cute mare and tasty snacks. The combination of snappy trap drums with very warm synth sounds underneath makes it feel both contemporary and nostalgic to me; perhaps evoking the same sense of longing for the foalhood snacks that it feels like you were enjoying just yesterday…
PumpkinZ – Colors | Hyperpop
PumpkinZ is dipping their toes into the world of hyperpop with this track from their upcoming Colours EP. Blending in elements of future bass too, this song keeps that lovely upbeat feel that both genres convey well, with some lovely epiano melodies filling in the quieter sections that build up to clean, smooth drops.
rawrity – need to go home ft. SOUND BANDIT | Pop
rawrity’s back with the latest installment in a series of tracks about their OC looking for and meeting Pinkie Pie! “need to go home” nails that bittersweet sound with its chord progression and several moments where the instrumental drops out, leaving us with just reverb, the echo of a moment passed. The pony chops in the background are a delight, the lyrics make great use of imagery, and SOUND BANDIT’s vocals always bring in some extra hyperpop energy. Great work you two!
SOUND BANDIT – GNOMY w/ nikedunk & ashes2day | Hyperpop
I’m delighted to bring you this newest SOUND BANDIT track, together with nikedunk & ashes2day she put together a lovely hyperpop track that, despite the genre name, is pretty chill and a pleasure to listen to! SOUND BANDIT’s vocals are amazing as usual and the instrumental is just as great, definitely give this track a listen and vibe for a while!
EveryDayDashie – Pegasus Venture (ft. Skyshard) | Asian Hyperpop
EveryDayDashie never fails to deliver! Working together with Skyshard for this part of his musical world tour, he delivers some Asian-inspired hyperpop that also features influences from other genres too! Not only is this an upbeat, fast paced track that’ll have you bopping your head along, you can also spot EveryDayDashie’s violin work in there, along with some Dubstep, an orchestral outro and a lot more! This one is definitely a track to pay attention to – clocking in at almost 5 minutes while never once sounding repetitive!

SOUND BANDIT – KISSING MY HOOVES GOODBYE | Hyperpop
Sometimes, all you need from a song is a solid vibe, and this SOUND BANDIT release is a prime example. Warm synthy instrumentation and chops from show classic “Winter Wrap-Up” form a uniquely cozy yet peculiar atmosphere, a signature touch of the producer.
